    I. Background__________________________________________________

    American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) have higher rates of disease, injury, and premature death than other racial and ethnic groups1, 2. AIAN adults have a higher prevalence of obesity and commercial tobacco use, and double the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes3. Deaths from stroke and heart disease are also higher4.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided funding to address these needs through their Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country (GHWIC) grant. Through this grant, the California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. (CRIHB) was awarded funding to provide subcontracts for the Advancing California Opportunities to Renew Native health Systems (ACORNS) program. The long-term goals of the ACORNS program are to reduce rates of death and disability from commercial tobacco use, diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and reduce the prevalence of obesity and other chronic disease risk factors in California Tribal communities.

    CRIHB will support California Tribal communities in accomplishing these goals by providing funding, support, leadership, training, and technical assistance. ACORNS funding will be awarded to eligible applicants to implement and evaluate projects that propose a combination of evidence-based, effective, and culturally adapted policies, systems, and environmental changes (PSE) and clinical-community linkage (CCL) strategies which help achieve the ACORNS program goals.

    Subcontracts from ACORNS are intended to: Implement a policy change, including the passing of laws, ordinances, resolutions,mandates, regulations, and/or rules to encourage or discourage a certain behavior.Examples include: implementing new diabetes screening procedures that ensure all patientswith diabetes are up to date on screening, passing and enforcing a commercial-tobacco freepolicy for all Tribal housing.

    Create a system change to the infrastructure, rules or systems within an organization.Systems change and policy change often work hand-in-hand. Examples include:establishing a referral system for medical staff to refer patients to evidence-basedprevention and education services, and requiring all clinic staff to be trained in providingculturally competent care and culturally adapted health education materials.

    Implement an environmental change to physical, social, or economic factors designed toinfluence people’s practices and behaviors. Examples include: incorporating breastfeedingspaces and services into existing community support services (e.g., early care andeducation centers, and health centers), and improving land-use and access to nutritious foodby creating a community garden in a vacant lot.

    Implement clinical-community linkages that promote collaboration, capacity-building, andcommunication between community and clinical sectors to improve patient healthoutcomes. Examples include: building capacity of Community Health Representatives(CHRs) in chronic disease prevention and management skills, referring patients to health

    prevention and education classes within the community and tracking their participation, and increasing access to health education by holding classes in the community.

    Implement a team-based care approach that promotes patient-centered care throughcollaboration between health providers, patients, and their care givers. Examples include:health providers meeting or sharing information on high-risk patients in order to improvehealth outcomes, developing strategies to inform and include patients and their care-giversin health decisions, and improving the quality of CHR home visits, including how visitoutcomes are reported and communicated to other health providers.

    All applicants must propose projects that utilize strategies, activities, and outcomes outlined in the ACORNS Strategies, Activities, and Outcomes.1
